Kindermusik FAQ

Where are your Kindermusik classes held?

Kindermusik baby and toddler classes are held in Avalon, on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

Can I attend baby classes or toddler classes on a casual basis?

The primary focus of Kindermusik is to create a love of music and learning in babies and toddlers not just during class, but also in the home. Unlike many other baby and toddler programs, Kindermusik provides the facility to do so with our wonderful 'At home' materials. Without the consistency of song during class and at home each week, the benefits of our program don't reach their full potential. This is why we don't offer a casual rate. Please feel free to register for a free trial class if you are still unsure about enrolling.

How many babies or toddlers are in each class?

A minimum of 5 children are needed for a class to go ahead. Maximum capacity is 11 children.

What if my child doesn't participate in class activities?

It is not uncommon for a baby or toddler to attend several classes before feeling comfortable in class. Don't be discouraged - what a child is absorbing in class is often shown in the comfort of the home environment rather than in a certain level of participation in class activities. The understanding and consistency of the parent or caregiver in class and at home are key to facilitating musical learning and growth. We recommend attending at least 5 classes to realise the full benefits of Kindermusik.

Do I need to sing in class?

There is no pressure to sing during Kindermusik. However, studies show that your voice (no matter how musical) is the most important sound for your child to listen to and is beneficial to their overall development.

Can I enrol at any time?

Yes. We will always do a pro rata rate for late enrolments. The 'At Home' materials must always be purchased at the time of enrolment to receive the full Kindermusik experience at home.

Am I able to bring an older/younger sibling to class?

During Sing & Play and Wiggle & Grow classes, it is important to maintain the bonding time between you and your child. We can only accommodate non-enrolled siblings if they are content to stay in a capsule or pram. We will consider emergency exceptions.

How do I make payment?

Please proceed to 'Enrol Now' and fill out the enrolment form. I will then email you an invoice with details of how to pay.

Do you run toddler or baby classes on any other days?

No. Currently I only run classes on Thursday mornings. This may change at some stage in the future so please feel free to register your interest. You can also visit Kindermusik to find other Kindermusik educators on the northern beaches as they may run classes on other days.
